It gave me an excuse to have lunch with my son, Patrick. When trying to answer her request I found copycat recipes on the Web.

Buckwheat Cheese Straws Recipe. These cheese straws look like wispy tree branches.

Wayne calls them cheese twigs, and they never last very long around here. Crispy, cheddar-flecked, and rustic, it's the buckwheat flour that lends these slender creations their convincing shade of brownish gray.
Spanakopita triangles + then some. Apparently, making marshmallows at home isn’t as “normal” as I would have thought, but then again, I am the last person one should be using a yardstick of kitchen normality, or not as long as I am pickling grapes or making wedding cakes with a mini-oven and a single, eensy counter.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that my brand of crazy will match yours, however. I mean, someone actually asked if was going to make my own phyllo next. Are they mad? I hate working with phyllo. Who invented this stuff?
RECIPE: HOMEMADE BROWNIES. For years I subscribed to the theory that you simply cannot make brownies from scratch that are as good as those from the box.

It's true and I’m absolutely ashamed to admit it. Then, thankfully, one day I woke up. Realizing that everything is better from scratch than from a box (really, who was I kidding?)
, I started to search for the perfect brownie recipe, one that would blow that box out of the water. This one has been my go-to for a few years now. It’s rich and decadent with that perfect delicately crisp top layer. Be sure to have cold milk on hand.

Sour cream chicken enchiladas recipe. When I was in college, on Saturday afternoons a large group of us would celebrate the weekend by going to lunch at the local Tex-Mex restaurant. We’d toast the weekend with tall glasses of iced tea and salty chips dipped in salsa, and as we were in North Texas, most of us would order the house special—sour cream chicken enchiladas. Tex-Mex is the large umbrella phrase that covers what people have determined to be Americanized Mexican food, but it’s a very broad term as a Tex-Mex plate found in North Texas will be very different than a Tex-Mex plate found near the Gulf. This is what I discovered when I went to college in the small town of Sherman near the Oklahoma border.

Green sauce was gone, with sour-cream based enchilada sauce to be found in its place.
Best Pizza Dough Ever Recipe. I can make a mean pizza, but it took me a while to learn how. Maybe I should rephrase that - I can make a mean pizza, but it took me a while to find the right teacher. For a long time I didn't really know where to look for guidance - I just knew I wanted pizza the way I'd enjoyed it in Rome and Naples. I was smart enough to know early on, if you have bad pizza dough, you're destined to have bad pizza. Figuring out the dough factor was not as easy as you might think.
Lazy Day Peanut Noodle Salad Recipe. I've been trying to cook from the archives a bit lately. There are so many recipes that I'll cook on repeat for months, and then neglect when a new favorite makes an appearance. There are many, many recipes in my life, and to those that get sidelined on occasion, rest assured, I still love you.

I dusted off this lazy day peanut noodle salad for lunch yesterday.
Garlicky Greens Recipe. Do you remember Nikki's sweet potato recipe from a couple weeks back? She recommended serving her sweet potatoes alongside lots of lots of garlicky, sauteed greens.
Jalapeno Cornbread: So Hot, So Sweet. To start off I have to say, this is not a grilling recipe. I’ve never tried it on the grill, and I probably never will. Certain things need stability – a high speed camera, a vintage moped and good cornbread. The latter requires a type of stability that can only be provided by a highly predictable 400 degree oven. Would it work on the grill? Yeah, for the most part, but I can only guess that you would have varying areas of doneness depending on the temperament of your grill.

Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins. I’ve had my Impatient Pants on for the last week. Actually, they prefer to be called Impatient Slacks. They take themselves pretty seriously.
